Build Your Self-Confidence – Having a Can-Do Attitude

June 27, 2010

Chances are you’ve met someone that seems to be confident in everything they do. They remain calm in stressful situations, and they tackle challenges that others dare not attempt. Self-confidence comes from within, and it doesn’t happen overnight, in fact, it takes repeated efforts to build yourself up as a confident person. Here are some ways to gain self-confidence:

1) Be Willing to Try New Things

Change is never easy, but it’s the only way to expand yourself outside your comfort-zone. The more you push yourself to try to new things, the more you will be confident in your ability to adapt. This can be as subtle as trying something new while at a restaurant or buying new clothes. For a story of extreme change, check out this video (click here):

2) Accept Yourself for Who You Are

If you look in the mirror and immediately start listing all the things you don’t like about yourself, think about how that’s affecting your self-confidence. Instead, choose to accept you for you, perhaps begin by focusing on the attributes that you do like.

There are many resources for building self-confidence from physical to mental. If you are not feeling confident, it will make your life feel more difficult than it needs to be. Spend the time to ensure you are your biggest fan!

Overcome Adversity – Achieving Dreams Takes Guts

June 13, 2010

If you know where you want to go and how you want to get there, the next step is convincing yourself that you can achieve what you set your mind to achieve. You are your loudest critic, so you need to keep your emotions in-check. Here are a couple tips:

1) Remember a Time When You Overcame Adversity

Keep this handy at all times and when you’re feeling down or overwhelmed, remember this time from your past to remind yourself that you are capable of overcoming adversity. If you’re feeling creative, write this in story form or create a video (click here) that you can refer to frequently.

2) Stop Self-Sabotaging Yourself

Self-sabotage can start as a subtle little voice telling yourself “you can’t” but it can build to be as strong as a feeling of depression or worthlessness. Be conscious of what you tell yourself and allow yourself to progress towards your goals unhindered by your own self-sabotage.

In future posts we will talk about other ways to keep your emotions in-check. If you have a remarkable story about overcoming adversity, please share it with others so they can be inspired!
